And as reaction time is one amongst the tool to measure cognitive function in human beings. This study included males and females of age 18-25years within BMI 18.5-22.9kg/m2 and having two weekly average screen-time of more than 4 hours. These individuals were asked to perform Deary Liewald's test for Simple and Choice reaction time. The included 54 participants (3 males and 51 females) and data collected did not pass normality, hence Spearman's test was used to find the correlation. The correlation coefficient (r value) and p value for the correlation between smartphone screen time and Simple reaction time is 0.070 and 0.61 and for Choice reaction time is-0.048 and 0.729 respectively. The study shows no significant correlation between the parameters screen time and reaction time (simple and choice reaction time) since p>0.05. Keywords-Smartphone use, reaction time, screen time, young adults. I.

Studies have shown that pain and muscle weakness associated with OA causes alteration in gait. Hence, present study is done to investigate the effect of physiotherapy treatment on gait variables in OA knee patients. Objectives: To study the effect of physiotherapy treatment on pain, physical function and gait variables (step length, stride length and cadence) in OA knee patients. Method: 20 subjects between age group of 45-60 years having grade 1, 2 ,3 OA on Kellgren and Lawrence scale with bilateral knee involvement, having pain intensity more than 3 on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were taken for the study. Pain on VAS, physical function on WOMAC index and gait parameters were recorded on first day. Patients were then given intervention for 3 weeks on alternate days which included burst TENS for 20 mins, strengthening and proprioceptive training. Al...

It causes neck pain which leads to reduced range of motion, headache and affects the quality of life of an individual. Laser and Kinesio Taping are common modes of treatment used to relieve pain over a trigger point and studies have proved that they are effective modes of treatment. However, studies comparing the effect of Laser and Kinesio Taping have not been done.Hence the study was undertaken to determine which treatment technique is more effective. Methods: 40 Individuals with Trigger points were selected as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into two groups using GraphPad QuickCalcs. Group 1 received Laser along with neck isometrics....
